Community Winter Games - Day 1

Think of the name and the slogan for our sport team and explain your choice.

I’m sure we are going to beat all of our competitors! We are a team, and we will need to work together! Let’s think of the name and the slogan for our team. They should sound terrifying (in a good way ) and powerful to scare our competitors away. At the same time, the name and the slogan should show that we are software specialists who work hard to prepare automated tests by using SmartBear products.

Answers like 'SmartBear Community Team' won't count I’m sure you can think of something more creative!

In the software development life cycle, while too often the mindset is that testing is ALWAYS left until the end and quality is something you inject at that point, we live into that fact of life. This is our reality... and we embrace it. We are the last line of defense, that thin red line between untested code and the vulnerable public, those who stay late on a release day to hunt down and destroy the last bug, to finish that last test, to write that last piece of regression code... and the bugs fear us for it. We are the few, the proud, the Testers... and we are terrors to all code defects... they run and hide from us... but we find them.. and destroy them.

We live in different countries and work for different companies, sometimes as competitors. Yet as we strive for excellence, we also respect the human condition to help and encourage others to do their best by teaching and providing tools so that they too can expand and grow. We all become better when the bar of achievement is raised.
